Open any AI chat tool (or the free lesson, if you've got 8 minutes). In your notes, write: (1) what an agent is, in 12 words or less (2) one tool it would need for your work (3) the human gate (send/deploy/spend). You're done when you've run one mini task with a checkable output, using those 3 lines as your brief.

Start with a free short agent-product lesson — then prove it
A short free lesson can define agent-labeled products for using tools at work — then you still must run one checkable task yourself.
Worked example
Anatoli points to Google's free ~8-minute first-agent lesson as a clearer starting point than paid hype courses. We agree it's a good start — we just don't think watching alone is enough. After the lesson, name your tools, one stop rule, and one human-owned action. That's onboarding to using agent-labeled tools — not launching an AI-dev career.
